What is Correlation of Circulating Natural Killer Cell Count with Prognosis in Large Cell Lymphoma about?
A monoclonal antibody recognizing a natural killer (NK) cell-associated antigen was used to sequentially quantify numbers of peripheral blood NK cells in a small group of patients with large cell lymphoma. Patients with active disease had low numbers (<100/mm3) of NK cells. Patients in complete remission after therapy had normal numbers of NK cells, but those patients who relapsed had a fall of NK cell number to <100/mm3 preceding or concurrent with clinical relapse. A role for NK cells in the surveillance and control of abnormal lymphoproliferation is suggested, as is the possible prognostic utility of sequential peripheral blood NK cell quantification in patients with large cell lymphoma.

By this admittedly simplistic model, complete eradication of tumor by chemotherapy alone is theoretically impossible, since a constant percentage, rather than a constant number, of sensitive tumor cells will be killed regardless of initial tumor size.' In spite of this, chemotherapeutic cure is possible in some advanced malignancies,2 and thus some mechanism must exist in vivo for the cont
